and Ayala, might as well keep raising some cash for them on the second point, as the days go by im amazed he's come in

Well that's Middlesbrough just missing out on the playoffs next season...

If the game was to be behind closed doors, then no fans would be going. The atmosphere would be totally different , so the players would get no familiarity. The surface is grass, not synthetic, I would expect professional players to be familiar with the surface and be able to play on it. should have been 'or games...' - missed opportunity either way,

No and why. missed this one, i think it could have been a huge positive for the local/nearby fans to be given the opportunity plus for the players themselves, getting some familiarity of the pitch surface and arena after so long away, but hey ho.

Part of me thinks 'Bring it on, let's get it over with'. hasty, they're keeping us in existence for now.

indeed, would rather have venkys on there

he would have been shown the backdoor

and he is going to be a very busy boy this season with a few kids in front of him

i quite like it tbf

Wouldn't you be happy on holiday In Portugal?

JDT could be a horrendous man manager for all we know...

Lived up to his name unfortunately

are we having any friendlies/games behind closed doors at ewood? seems daft to wait until our first game of the championship

yeah but isnt silence better than gossip/speculation rubbish... honestly, with the way things have gone already, we'll probably have 5 signings go through at the very death of deadline day

depends on the undisclosed objective set, whats happened so far isnt yet screaming promotion vibes, im getting more a season of transition with a promotion push the next season, and JDT has 3 years to get us there or thereabouts.

if not Jones, has to be either... Mathias Jørgensen (ooooh danish fwends) Kurt Zouma (cat killer) Angelo Ogbonna (past it) Joe Rodon (average) Daniel Amartey (average) Mads Bech Sørensen (ooooh more danish fwends)

transfer deadline isnt for another two months yet, plenty of time.

plus he's handy for making up the numbers on the back of the introduction of the seven-man sub bench for the new season

yeah we've liked the deadline approach a bit too much recently, the risk is getting £20m for BBD and still having most of it left after a deadline failed transfer or a large portion of it wasted on a panic buy.

just now from you, source?

we cant be selling BBD if we've any real desire of competing

true, would provide ample cover at cb too, though he probably wants a guaranteed regular place which he isnt going to get

Love this one of mini Jon

jesus, some of the shite posted in here today, get out and enjoy the sunshine

Woooooof! I enjoyed that tbf
